I couldn't agree more - you cannot offer a simple programming model if your goal is to cover all corner cases. In many other places in e4, we consciously decided to provide API for the common 80%-90% case only. For those who need their corner cases covered (the 10%-20% case), it is a perfectly reasonable answer to have to use a lower-level, more complex API.
